Bloodborne Fans Celebrate 10th Anniversary, Rally for Return to Yharnam Amid No Sequel or Update

Mar 27,2025 Author: Simon

Today marks the 10th anniversary of *Bloodborne*, and fans are commemorating the occasion with another "Return to Yharnam" community event. FromSoftware's PlayStation 4 masterpiece, which launched on March 24, 2015, solidified the Japanese developer's reputation as one of the greatest in the industry. The game received widespread critical and commercial success, leading many to anticipate a sequel or remaster akin to the Dark Souls series. However, a decade later, there has been no follow-up, leaving fans puzzled and eager for more.

The absence of a current-gen remaster, a sequel, or even a next-gen update that would enable 60fps gameplay has been a source of frustration for the *Bloodborne* community. Despite continuous requests to Sony, the silence on this front remains one of the most perplexing decisions in the gaming world.

Earlier this year, former PlayStation executive Shuhei Yoshida offered some insight into the situation. In an interview with Kinda Funny Games, Yoshida shared his personal theory, emphasizing that it was not based on insider knowledge. He suggested that Hidetaka Miyazaki, the head of FromSoftware and creator of *Bloodborne*, might be reluctant to let anyone else work on the game due to his deep attachment to it. Yoshida speculated that Miyazaki's busy schedule and success with other projects, such as the critically acclaimed *Elden Ring*, could be factors in the lack of a *Bloodborne* follow-up.

Miyazaki's involvement in subsequent projects like *Dark Souls 3*, *Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice*, and *Elden Ring* has kept him occupied. He has often sidestepped questions about *Bloodborne*, citing that FromSoftware does not own the IP. However, he did acknowledge last year that the game could benefit from being released on more modern hardware.

In the absence of official updates, modders have attempted to enhance the *Bloodborne* experience. Notable efforts include a 60fps mod by Lance McDonald, which was met with a DMCA takedown from Sony four years after its release. Similarly, Lilith Walther's projects, such as *Nightmare Kart* and the *Bloodborne PSX demake*, faced copyright claims. Meanwhile, recent advancements in PS4 emulation, highlighted by Digital Foundry's coverage of ShadPS4, have allowed fans to experience *Bloodborne* at 60fps on PC, prompting speculation about Sony's response.

With no official word from Sony, *Bloodborne* enthusiasts have taken matters into their own hands, organizing community events like the "Return to Yharnam" initiative. Today's event encourages players to start fresh characters, engage with as many co-op partners and invaders as possible, and leave in-game messages to signify their participation in this community-driven celebration. As fans continue to celebrate and keep the spirit of *Bloodborne* alive, these events may be the closest they get to new content in the beloved game's universe.
